Pointless.
You shouldn't put folks who don't use these in the class of owning "pretty" AK's. Just because some of us don't see a need to put one in our rifle doesn't mean we are going to jump down your throat when you install one. Do what you please, the man asked for advice and he is gonna get it from both sides. |

The rifle is designed so the the carrier stops before it contacts the stock block.
Examine the stock block and carrier. If the carrier is striking the block hard, one of them will peen. If you see peening, you can do one of two things: Find the problem and correct it or apply a "bandaid solution". If you don't see peening all the buffer will accomplish is to part you and your money. |

The facts:
1) As someone has already mentioned, the rifle is designed such that the bolt carrier stops prior to impacting the back of the receiver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sNDTdKQNVU 2) There have been a number of reports from people that have had reliability issues after installing recoil buffers. 3) Military AK's in Russia do not come with buffers. I cannot think of a single country that produces AK's with buffers. 4) It's your money. |

If you carrier is slamming the rear trunnion, something is wrong. Fix it, don't complicate the problem it with a buffer. A buffer will stop the peening but it will not change the fact that your carrier is slamming back and pounding on the rivets.
Typically a new recoil spring is the answer. |
